Bruce Nunnally Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 General Motors has agreed to form a strategic investment and commercial collaboration with Controlled Thermal Resources to secure local and low-cost lithium. This lithium will be produced through a closed-loop, direct extraction process that results in a smaller physical footprint, no production tailing and lower carbon dioxide emissions when compared to traditional processes like pit mining or evaporation ponds.

cdgrinci Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Hopefully this process will be economical; so maybe an exportable product, as well as a secure Li source for in-house battery production. If you believe that the BEV revolution will happen as fast as they predict (personally I think it's coming but at a slower pace) a secure source for Li will be critical. I sure hope 'someone' has a plan for all these Li batteries when they start needing to be re-cycled.
